The Zine's Title... and Nickname
The title of the zine is from a song by Queen, lyrics by John Deacon. These lyrics are included on the inside front cover.
The zine is sometimes referred to as "that purple zine" or "The Purple Pros(e) Zine." The first title is due to the color of the front cover. The second nickname was because some readers felt that some of the stories were overwritten or melodramatic.

[zine]:
I saw a flyer for the Pros zine WALKING IN THE MOONLIGHT at CaliCon last June, and I was curious enough about them to send in a deposit. I enjoyed all the stories, especially [Sharon F's] "Circles" and the raunchy blue jean fantasy that takes place in an Oxfam store and then a posh men's clothing store's dressing room. [1]
[zine]: Few experiences compare with the unique impact that first reading slash has! I picked up a flyer for WALKING IN THE MOONLIGHT at CaliCon in 1989. The flyer had a photo of B&D which, a month later, inspired me to mail my $5 deposit for the zine. At that point I hadn't seen the series. Several months later it dropped into my mailbox and I flipped thru its lavender pages wondering where to begin. I read the raunchy "Blue Jean Fantasy". Well met! [2]
